Each of the following statements about Illinois Human Rights Act housing protections is accurate EXCEPT:

Correct Answer

D) Source of income is protected under federal fair housing law but is not a protected class under Illinois law.

Option D is false. Source of income is explicitly protected under the Illinois Human Rights Act (775 ILCS 5/3-102), which prohibits discrimination in real estate transactions based on source of income. It is not a federal Fair Housing Act protected class, so the claim that it exists only at the federal level is the reverse of the truth.

Answer Options
A
Immigration status is a protected class under Illinois fair housing law, covering transactions such as brokerage and appraisal services.
B
Illinois fair housing law protects more classes than the seven classes protected under the federal Fair Housing Act.
C
Illinois fair housing law includes protected classes such as ancestry, age 40 and older, marital status, military status, source of income, immigration status, order of protection status, and arrest record.
D
Source of income is protected under federal fair housing law but is not a protected class under Illinois law.
